What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Groundwater occasionally discharges into surface water and then, they flow together as a body of water in a watershed.

Explanation:

According to www.mbgnet.net A watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that all drain into a single larger body of water, such as a larger river, a lake or an ocean.

Therefore, when groundwater discharges into a body of surface water, for example a stream, the stream just like several other streams in a watershed would flow into a larger body of water.

When two oceanic plates converge, the plate with a greater density will subduct. This plate will partially melt, causing the for
N76 [4]

Answer:

Island arc

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates share a convergent type of plate boundary, the denser oceanic plate will subduct below the less dense oceanic plate. This will result in the formation of the subduction zone, where the rocks are being pulled down to the mantle. This subduction zone is typically marked by the presence of a narrow depression commonly known as an oceanic trench, that lies just above the zone.

The rocks of the subducting plate undergo partial melting and mix up with the magma that rises upwards towards the surface due to the force exerted by the convection currents. This later gives rise to the formation of volcanoes or a chain of volcanoes which are commonly known as an island arc.

Juan and Kuri are on a carousel. Juan is closer to the center of the carousel than Kuri. Which statement describes their tangent
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

Explanation:

Since Juan is closer to the center and Kuri is away from the center so we can say that Juan will move smaller distance in one complete revolution

As we know that the distance moved in one revolution is given as

d = 2\pi r

also the time period of revolution for both will remain same as they move with the time period of carousel

Now we can say that the speed is given as

v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

so Juan will have less tangential speed. so correct answer will be

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.
